Autocrossing voids Warranties
This was an interesting article I came a cross, I though should share with the group. I know some of you guys race on the weekends. I am pretty sure most of use here don't have much of a warranty left put you can warn other people.

For the most part this is nothing new. I know my dad's 69 TR6 lost its warranty when he did some light SCCA racing. Most warranties have a disclaimer about any "abuse" to the auto can cause the warranty to be void. It would really be dumb of a company to not have such a disclaimer. It would cost them $$$$ as most people would simply go out and see how far past redline they can get their car before it blows up.
I do think it is quite curious though that Subaru gives WRX buyers a 1 year SCCA membership though.

That's why I always buy used cars. I'm free to do what I want to the car. Let someone else take the depreciation hit for the first 3 years.

Yeah, I saw that in my last Autoweek. That's one reason why I'll get a used STI and not an Evo...
